Questions about engineers

[Montana Grizz]

There seem to be engineers that have specific talents:

I understand that not all engineers can lay the heavier bridges and only some engineers can lay mines.

Are there things that all engineer units can do such as clear mines or destroy walls or are all actions specific to select units?

Mine Eng's are the only Eng's that can lay a mine field and I do not think they can reduce the strength of the mine field. Assault Eng's can not do any of the other ENG tasks, they are basically a combat ENG. Only Regular Eng units can clear mine fields. Regular Eng's and construction Eng's can build improved positions and Construction Eng's can build a trench on top of a improved position. Bridging Eng's can only build bridges. Reg Eng's can destroy things like small bridges, blocks etc. All Eng's can attack or defend. One of the things about the game manual is that it scatters information through out the manual, why not have a section just for Eng's and in one place? Just as a note there are a number of errors concerning the arty ranges in the data handbooks meaning the handbook would state that an arty piece would have a ranger of 40 hexes when in fact when used on the map the range would be something like 43 hexes. Just thought I would add that :)
